"I enter the tomb through darkness..
..and kneel in holy fear
..then I say some prayers
..and I wait
Sometimes I wait a bit long
But most of the times..
The miracle happens as soon as I finish my prayers
From inside the tomb itself
The miracle happens
A fire!
That doesn't burn
Through it, I'm able to light the candles I'm holding
Then I get out of the tomb
And I give the fire to everyone outside"
This.. is the testimony of the Patriarch of Jerusalem, Diodorus
About the Miracle of the Holy Saturday
The Holy Saturday is the holiest day in the Christian Religion
Because in that day, according to the christian religion,
Jesus was buried after being crucified
And in that day, every year,
A miracle happens in the church that has the tomb of Jesus
The first thing that happens in that day is when the Israeli Officials
Goes inside the Tomb of Jesus to inspect it very well
To make sure that it has nothing that can be used to light a fire
Then the patriarch himself is inspected
To make sure he has nothing that can light a fire
Then the Patriarch takes off his clothes and enters the tomb alone
While holding a 33 candles
Which represents the age of Jesus on earth
Then when the Patriarch is inside, he say certain prayers
And from here, the miracle occures
Suddenly the Patriarch gets out with his candles on fire
while everyone is screaming and crying
and everyone is trying to light his candle from that fire from the tomb
to seek blessing by it and erase their sins
The miracle is not only about the Patriarch who magically lights the candles from inside the tomb.. no
But some peopple say that some candles
which are held by the public
Are lit by themselves
And that the fire itself, is not a normal fire
It's a cold fire that doesn't burn for exactly 33 minutes
Which represents the age of Jesus
How can we explain this?!
"Sultan Saladin acknowledges the miracle"
And this's the first evidence that supports the story of the holy fire
On the year 1187
And after the Muslim army entered Jerusalem (Led by Saladin)
It's said that Saladin desired that year
to be present at the celebration
Gautier Vinisauf tells us what happened
On his arrival, the celestial fire descended suddenly,
and the assistants were deeply moved
and the Christians started to Glorify God
The Saracens said that the fire was produced by fraudulent means
Saladin, wishing to expose the imposter, took a candle and tried to extinguish it
But of course he couldn't
whenever he tries to extinguish it the lights relight immediately
Thereupon, the Sultan, was convinced
and confounded and cried out in prophetic transport:
'Yes, soon shall I die, or I shall lose Jerusalem.'"
And he did die in the next Lent
That story is one of the most famous stories
Which people always mention while defending the Holy Saturday miracle
But in fact
That story never happens, it's a made up story
Why?
First, they say that Saladin indeed died in the next Lent
Which is supposed to take place in 1188
After the Muslim Army entered Jerusalem
But that can't be true
Because Saladin died in 1193 not in 1188
Second, he couldn't have witnessed the holy Saturday in the same year he entered Jerusalem
Because he entered it on October 1187
And the day of the Holy Saturday in 1187
Was 4 April Before he entered Jerusalem by 6 months
Third, The scientific investigations say that Saladin..
was sick before entering Jerusalem by over 2 years
And for 8 years he was having several bouts of illness and fevers
And he was always about to die from them But he survives
Until the year 1993 when he had a severe illness and fever which led him to die
The scientific investigations say that Saladin was sick of one of two illness
Either Tuberculous meningitis or viral encephalitis
But nothing mysterious
Fourth, Historically, Saladin closed the Holy Church immediately after entering
Under the condition of paying taxes if they want to use it again
But he didn't enter Jerusalem to celebrate with the Christians or anything like that
Fifth, let's see who's the source of that story
Who invented the story of Saladin and the Holy Saturday
Actually, if you tried to look for the source of that story
You'll find it an online article dates back to 2005 on a Christian website
A website that we'll make u laugh if you tried to see what articles it publish
The whole site talks about myths and miracles
Like the miracle of Pope Cyril in which a girl who couldn't get pregnant
dreamed about Pope Cyril to wake up and find herself miraculously pregnant
Or the story of Pope Cyril which he made a girl's wish come true
when he made her enter the Faculty of Dentistry
Or when Pope Cyril made someone get the American Green Card!
It's true I didn't make this up. And so on.
So if you're taking such website as your source of information
Then you know.. i've no comment!
on the whole, this is the first Arabic source
Which other websites copied the story from and paste it in their websites
But it's not the first real source of the story
The source of this story
Is a Danish Christian Writer named Niels C Hvidt
From it's book titled:
"Meetings between heaven and earth"
This book isn't important whatsoever
It's not available in any foreign libraries, Amazon or even translated to English
It's only available on 4 Danish websites
2 of them the book is sold "used"
And the reason becomes clear when you know that the book doesn't mention any sources
The book says that there's someone named "Gautier Vinisauf"
Who told the story of Saladin and his crying on the Holy Saturday
But he never mentioned a source
Nor he said who's this "Gautier Vinisauf"
Nor he mentioned any other sources of that incident
Like, do you actually believe that such important historical story
doesn't have any historical references or sources
but a single christian writer
who mentioned someone that if you googled his name, you'll never find?
Think about it.. the story never happened!
"Inspecting the Patriarch"
They say that the Patriarch is inspected by hand by the Jewish Israeli police themselves
And although I really wish that this was the case
But unfortunately that's not true at all
There's no inspecting that happens to the Patriarch before entering the tomb
As for the clothes that the Patriarch take off
And everyone thinks he's doing so to be inspected
That's not true
He's taking it off so that he could only wear the "white sticharion"
It's a clothes that's worn by the lowest religious rank in the Church
Which is the "priest assistant"
The Patriarch is taking off he's "Royal Clothing"
and wears the primitive clothing of the priest assistant
as a sign of humility.. before he enters the tomb of Jesus
No, you're still not convinced.. you're still not convinced
okay
Let's watch together a video of the Holy Saturday That was recorded in 2012
All those you see around the Patriarch is his assistants and servants
Who help him take off his clothes and crown
To enter the tomb with the humble clothes
Do you notice anything?
No body inspect the Patriarch form the moment he enter the Holy Church Itself
Until he enter the tomb itself
Nobody even dares to touch him
There's no inspection on the Patriarch before he enters the tomb.. at all
"The fire ignites itself"
Now let's talk about one of the most important points about the miracle of the Holy Fire
Which is the fire the ignites itself
Actually there's not a single video
In which this Holy Fire was recorded igniting itself in front of everyone
All this hype about the fire that ignites itself
Is nothing but stories and rumors that are told by both parties
The Christians who keep defending and saying that this fire ignites itself
And the Critics who denies it saying that it's a "White Phosphorus" and it's doable by chemistry
When exposing white phosphorus to air it can ignites Itself
Until they both forgot to check the the accuracy of the information
And see whether this fire can does ignite itself.. or not
Then who ignites the fire, Sherif?
The Patriarch himself!
In 1880 the archbishop "Nikeforos Theotokes"
Stated that the light doesn't miraculously descent from heaven like people think
but is lit by the Patriarch and then distributed sanctified to the faithful
To cleanses their sins
Also, Ephraim II, Patriarch of Jerusalem
He talked about the experience of the Holy Saturday Day
characterizing it as "handmade engineering" and those involved as "light-makers."
Also, Pope Gregory IX on 1238
And the "Pople" is the highest rank in the Church
And is named "Successor of the apostles", "Supreme Pontiff" and the "Word of God"
The Pope Gregory IX himself said that the Holy Fire miracle isn't true
And called the Holy Fire a fraud
No, no, Sherif.. I'm still not convinced yet I'm still not convinced
Okay, if you're not convinced
Let's see together the prayer that the Patriarch read after he enters the tomb
It's read in Greek and it's a bit long (You'll find it in the sources under the video)
But I'll tell a brief section from it
The prayer Itself which the Patriarch read inside the tomb
Literally says that he produces the light
That means that the Patriarch says he's igniting the fire himself!
The prayer is just a normal prayer
He prays that the fire he's about to ignite to be blessed
And cleanses the sins of anyone who carries it.. nothing more
The same happens with the water
When they take a normal water and turn it into a blessed and a holy one
To cleanses the sins
How do they do that?
They say some prayers on the water and then it becomes blessed and holy
But to be fair really
There's actually one video
In which the fire was ignited by itself
It happened in 1996
In that Holy Saturday there was someone who was recording the event
And suddenly
He records what's said to be a Russian nun
Standing in the second floor of the Holy Church
And before the Patriarch gets out from the tomb with his lit candles
Her candle Miraculously lights by itself
First, this video is so old we can't investigate what happened accurately
But generally
The video itself is not in the favor of the Christians
Because that's the biggest evidence that the presence of the patriarch inside the tomb
is not useful
If the miracle can ignite the candles by itself
Then.. why the rest of the candles don't also ignite by themselves?
Why there's only one candle that ignited by itself?
And even when it's ignited.. there's not a single evidence that it happened
Like, there's no one who recorded it closely or something like that
But a single video by someone who stands in the first floor
But he didn't record it from a close distance
So, it's like a pointless miracle that no one benefited from
And since the prayer is also just a religious rituals
And it's not the "cause" of the miracle
It's just a normal prayer
So let's get the Patriarch out of the tomb
Without praying inside or doing inside there alone
And let's see if the miracle will occur
And since also all people should be even in the eyes of Jesus
And Jesus should not Preferred someone over another just because he's a patriarch
or priest, or an assistant.. or even a normal person
Then the presence of the patriarch himself, according to Jesus, is not necessary for the miracle
What should happen is for the normal public
to go to the holy church and pray or say anything they want
And then raise their candles
And see if the candles will ignite
It's very simple
If the candles can be actually ignited by itself
You'd have found thousands upon thousands of YouTube video that record such incidents
"The Testimony of Patriarch, Diodorus"
Now let's head back to the testimony of patriarch, Diodorus
"I enter the tomb through darkness..
actually if we tried to look for the source of this testimony
We'll find that it's an online article
dates back to 29 April, 2000
The article is about someone who's interviewing the patriarch Diodoros
So the patriarch tells him what happens on that day
Now who's that person who's supposedly interviewing the Patriarch?
Yep
The ** Niels Christian Hvidt
Yes. The one who wrote the story of Saladin and his crying on the Holy Saturday
Not only that
But if you tried to look for that source interview today
You'll find that it was deleted
Unfortunately after it was copied by thousands of website
You can only see it if you go to a website such as "Web Archive"
And view the deleted articles from that website
You'll find that it was there but got deleted
Even if we assumed that the interview did happen
That doesn't prove the story of the Holy Fire at all
You can't take the testimony of the person who does the trick
As an evidence for the credibility of the trick
Because he's the one who's doing it!
That's like asking a magician
"How do u get this dove from your hands?"
So he replies with "I whisper a secret mascot and then the dove appears"
Then u believe him
That's wrong!
"The Fire Doesn't Burn"
And this is the most important point about this "miracle"
This fire doesn't burn and for a whole 33 mins
"It doesn't burn because it's not fire.. it's a light"
And because this's a very simple proposition and we don't need to complicate it
I'll ask you a very simple question
How is it possible that a yearly event..
which is attended by thousands with their cameras, mobiles and GoPros
And there's not even one time
A person was recorded putting the fire on his hands?
There's not a single video
Of anyone in that day putting his hands on the fire.. for even 3 seconds
Not 33 minutes
It doesn't make sense, right?
If this was true
You'd find all kinds of people going there just to touch this fire which doesn't burn!
"And after more than 15 minutes..
..it turns into fire..
-"After 30 minutes I mean" -"To a normal fire that burns"
-"Yes it burns" -"Yea"
"But at first it's not fire.. it's light"
"But it lightens the candles"
Open any YouTube video and see for yourself
The patriarch enters the tomb, lights the fire and then gets out
Give the fire to other people
Any not a single person thought of trying and put his hands on the fire?!!
As for the pictures you see of some people putting their hands on the fire
Well, this is actually funny
Because anyone who hears such stories thinks that those people..
Put the fire in their mouths.. or in their eyes..
Until the 33 minutes is passed, because the fire doesn't burn, right?!
But the truth is that they don't even put it for one second!
And all these pictures you see of people putting their hands on fire
These were taken from a video
In which they pass their hands above the fire so it appears as if the fire doesn't burn
And this.. is easy to make
There's this magician named "David Copperfield"
David Copperfield once made the Statue of Liberty dissapear
In front of Millions of viewers live on air
And another time he disappeared from the stage
And then appeared in Hawaii, on air in front of thousands of people
And in another occasion he made 13 people to disappear on stage
But every time he asks random people he don't know
To come on the stage and watch him to make sure that he doesn't use any tricks
Why is he doing this?
So that the people trust him and convinced that he doesn't do tricks
Of course, all this is just visual tricks
And all of his tricks were exposed by many people
But the point is
He was so confident of his abilities
That's why he always ask others to come and make sure he's not doing any tricks
Now I want you to compare this
To what happens on that "Holy Saturday"
First they say that the miracle doesn't appear unless the Patriarch of the Orthodox
Is the one who enters the tomb
Then they say that the tomb is examined in the same day
And this doesn't happen
Then they say that the Patriarch is inspected before entering the tomb
And this doesn't happen
And the videos that were recorded on that day
Are very clear at showing that the patriarch from the moment he enters the church
Until he enters the tomb itsef
No one even touches except for those assistants who help him take his clothes off
And then they say he has to enter the tomb alone
And no one is allowed to go with him
And no TV channels or press is allowed to record what happens in the tomb
And then he gets out.. and the fire is normal and it burns
And there's not a single video that records anyone who touches it for even 3 seconds
And then you see millions of people still believe that this's a miracle?!
How religions can blind humans!
And.. you don't need to say that the patriarch is inspected by the officials
..and also the tomb..
..and they take off his clothes, and search everything, etc..
Just to prove that the patriarch can't ignites a fire alone in the tomb
No! if he wants to.. he can!
This is not magic This's a normal house matchsticks
And the way to make it is very easy you'll find it in the description below the video
A simple matchstick
That can be hidden anywhere in his body and can be ignited by any surface
The patriarch won't need anything more
To ignite this fire
And convince Christians for the rest of their lives..
That Jesus exist and so is his miracles
It's a good thing by his point of view
But at the end
It's nothing but a cheap scam and fraud
that disrespects people's minds
